In the former, people are out on the street with their families to attend the public meeting while in the latter, people used to sit in front of the television screen, the BJP national vice president said.

The Yatra is no more a party affair and has transformed in to a socio-political movement given the response it was getting from people, Jha said.

Talking about ex-finance minister Raghavji, Jha said he is no more a part of the party.

Re-induction of Vijay Shah in the state cabinet with few months remaining for completion of the government tenure, he said there is always scope of correction.

Giving a clean chit to Shah, he said Shah felt victim of the cut-copy-paste of his statements on news channel.

He runs a political factory in Chhindwara hiring 4000 political servants who receive a salary ranging from Rs 2000 to Rs 20,000, the BJP national vice president further claimed.

The Congress leader is not capable of helping the party of win Seoni and Betul parliamentary seats adjoining Chhindwara, Jha said.
